October 26, 2016

Just got done watching this and, well, seems like this -- as folks have been saying -- is far too in the weeds for the mouth-breating proles. Confirms what we already knew about TCC (The Crooked Cunt) and her minions -- either direct or indirect hires. They are shady and corrupt and willing to wink at But no one will switch votes.

[Un]fortunately, James got the twenty large back with an expression by the scum who originally accepted it that "it may be an illegal foreign donation". So, unless I am missing something, it will just be another instance of Clinton and operatives slithering away while we try to nail Jell-O to the wall.

But it does tell us something interesting. (And it's at this time I wish I had a counseling session with my good friend and fellow cold warrior, LL, who worked for the clandestine three-letter government organ whose first letter was "C" and last letter was "A". He could add heft to my pathetic analysis.) Here's what I read:

Project Veritas is well endowed financially. No organization that takes twenty large from petty cash for bait is running on nickels and dimes. Short of being listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, discretionary income of that size means they got a pretty good "quick ratio".

They are also are pretty clandestine and in this for th e long haul. Sure, sure, sure. I know they have been at work since essentially 2009 exposing the POTUS's crapfests, but it's a pretty dedicated operation to work moles into the DNC at such a high level. This takes time and guile. Maybe the DNC is not the smartest org on the planet but they are sure more crafty than the GOPe and their limp dicks. Plus there are a lot of crooks (Creamer is a convicted felon; ONe of HRC's staffers is the former Pennsylvania AG and is headed for the Greybar Hotel. And gthere are scads of other thugs on the payroll.

Project Veritas projects are complex. Buttressing the two above points is the fact that they have been at this for over seven years and that means that their staff is probably the size of a respectable company and that they have permanent people on staff. And that means salaries and the usual infrastructure that goes with it. (Retirement? Pension? 401K?)

So this is a serious effort and therefore I am led to believe that O'Keefe must have a few rounds in the chamber. In fact, I am certain of it. No one with his skill and incredible organization would drop this willy wilter with more than two weeks left to go in the campaign -- especially one where it involved an investment of $20,000 and the time and effort to get all those moles in place.

October 25, 2016

No not THAT, this: more poll dancing and an alternative source of information.

I stumbled on this guy -- Styxhexenhammer -- a while ago and instantly appreciated his dry, droll, monotone screeds. And, since there is a spate of posts on polling here on HG, I thought I would post one of Styx's recent videos on that subject. The background on this is that Styx (as I like to call him) has gathered a substantial following over the past three months because he is a liberal anarchist basically backing Trump. And we have bought into his analysis because it mainly steers us between the twin disasters, the Scylla and Charybdis of rosy optimism on one hand and the dreary, gloomy trolling of the #Nevertrumpers on the other.

Basically, he traffics in reality. But he also hates Hillary and anyone who holds those sentiments is aces in my book.

So, in his previous video, he "made a prediciton" that Trump would win IF THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED..and his following blew up in frustration and caterwauls of "but you promised" and various other invective. So he posted this one to enlarge on his prediction and clarify his prediction:

None of his assertions, however, refute the fact that Clinton and the MSM are actually rigging the polls. Northwest Conservative's summary of the ZeroHedge oversampling still rings true. It is a good primer on how these things are done. To which I must add: the polls are biased because the MS is commissioning them and need something to drive their media mantra. Styx goes into detail explaining that his prediction was NOT based on the rigged polls or the supposed hidden voter turnout or other reasons, but rather that he says Trump is within striking distance and that he will probably have one (or more) of three stink bombs drop for Hillary that may slide the election his way.

And I am fine with that. Not happy that he din not "predict" an Earth-moving landslide, but content in knowing what needs to fall into place in order for us not to be facing FOUR TO EIGHT YEARS if that evil, corrupt witch. In fact, I am more than comfortable in Trump running from behind in most polls -- rigged or not -- because it is a stronger position and I'd rather have my enemy in my sights as opposed to having them at my back. (Of course, having them so-o-o-o-o far back as not being in my rear view would be the most preferable.) But, if the big three -- WikiLeaks, O'Keefe, or Cernovich coming up with the 33,000 emails -- fail to unseat Clinton then we must consign ourselves to the fact that NOTHING would have convinced the mouth-breathing, mirror-fogging trolls..

October 21, 2016

So here's something interesting. Pretend you're a semi-lofo citizen and really are dithering or on the fence for Trump but could go either way. You wake up one morning, go over to Yahoo.com, and check your email. Only to get hit in the face with the bucket of icy cold water above.

While I don't have to break it down for you, I will. (Good like that, I am.)

(1) New York Daily News says America is primed to Dump Trump.
(2) Trump unfavorably received at Al Smith dinner.
(3) Pity party pile-on for poor Hillary at the hands of her evil, mean security detail.

We all know how the media is in the tank for Hillary and are ever-sharpening the long knives and on the prowl for Donald J. But this is just the normal, everyday, innocent browsing that folks like us do and, it turns out, all of us have to swim through the river of sewage just to make our appointed rounds.

So, unwinding this:

(1) It's a NY Daily News editorial; an expression of opinion by a paper who does not love The Donald:

Even so, it's pretty slanted and the hatred is over the top. Of course, similar enmity exists for Clinton but I doubt a major paper of record would allow their venom to spill out so abundantly.

(2) Actually, Trump's appearance was pretty well liked for its jokes and good humor. In fact a CNN video lined up both his and Clinton's barbs and and both gave as good as they got. And, let's face it, that's what the Al Smith dinner is all about: bitter political rivals relaxing and unwinding with ribs and and pokes.

(And, speaking of all this, I'd like to find out more about the woman in the red dress and opera gloves to Trump's right with the immense ear rings and the immenser cleavage. I wonder what's so interesting on her smart phone?)

Hillary Clinton's "treatment of DS agents on her protective detail was so contemptuous that many of them sought reassignment or employment elsewhere," according to a just-released summary of an FBI interview with a former Department of State official. "Prior to CLINTON's tenure, being an agent on the Secretary of State's protective detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agents. However, by the end of CLINTON's tenure, it was staffed largely with new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her."

Clinton's DS agents are hardly the first to complain about her mistreatment.
"She derives pleasure from lording over other people who cannot do anything about it and who are less powerful than she is," author Ronald Kessler told Newsmax TV.

In fact, Clinton's well-documented history of profane, unhinged outbursts against those who work for her spans decades. (Warning: Clinton's vulgarity is presented here uncensored, to convey the full pain that she inflicted when she uttered these words.)

"It's because she actually talked to me once. Almost a sentence," wrote the Air Force K9 handler. "I got to do a few details involving Distinguished Visitors."

"One of my last details was for Hillary when she was Secretary of State," Bonner continued. "I helped with sweeps of her DV quarters and staff vehicles. Her words to me?

"'Get that fu--ing dog away from me.' Then she turns to her security detail and berates them up and down about why that animal was in her quarters. For the next 20 minutes, while I sit there waiting to be released, she lays into her detail, slamming the door in their faces when she's done. The detail lead walks over, apologizes, and releases me. I apologize to him for getting him in trouble. His words, 'Happens every day, Brother.'

"Hillary doesn't care about anyone but Hillary."

October 18, 2016

Like many of you, I have been living a manic/depressive lifestyle over the last three months. Strike that. Since the first week in January when the events and people that lead us into that apocalyptic showdown on November 8th started to come into focus. I have been wringing my hands, taking an extra tot of spirits now and then, and generally sleeping fitfully as I worry about our fate.

(I am, if nothing else, a drama queen.)

But more and more, I have come to realize that we are on a predetermined course and only God (your God[s], my God, or whatever deity folks set their course by), has his hands on the tiller while we sit in the galley, munching our snacks, sipping our grog, and natter away inanely.

(I releat: I am, if nothing else, a drama queen.)

Anyway, of late I have tuned out (only slightly) in order to get some semblance of my life back and to catch my breath before the finishing sprint. Upon returning, however, I note the river of sewage we have been swimming in has only gotten higher and threatens to overflow its banks, per drudge today:

But before you assail me with the observation that the above looks as though it can be laid at the feet of BOTH Frau Colostomy Bag AND Donald Trump, let me weasel out by reminding you of the fact that early on in their struggle Trump essentially offered to take the high road only to be hit with Clinton unleashing the "Miss Piggy" horse crap followed by the media-aided bimbo salvos starting with the "Pussy Galore" locker room conversation. They (she, her campaign, and the media) have been dining out on that ever since. And, understandably, Trump's ratings have taken a dive.

This dive has seemingly been reflected in the polls and, as the waves of the bad number spill out from Megyn Kelly's pouty lips, off the screen of your 55-inch monster and onto that new carpet you just installed, you may have reached for the bottle of Jack or Lismores, or Creme de Menthe, or whatever to calm your nerves and buoy your mood.

But, despair not! Here is an interesting video featuring Stefan Molyneux and Bill Mitchell discussing that infamous 800 pound gorilla in the room: the slew of polls that favor Clinton over Trump. Listen for their (1) discussion of the media skewing the polls, (2) their discussion of the media "masking" the skewing of the polls, (3) their discussion of how the polls DO NOT equate to the empirical signs of a vibrant and active campaign (rally attendance, incredible social media response, yard signs, and the like) and (4) how this over-skewing may actually be a good thing.

O.K., I will shut up and let you watch. Take notes because there will be a quiz.

October 14, 2016

He's speaking up for you and me, the common, hard-working American. Unlike those affected, full-of-themselves, Hollywood elites like that dick-sucker DeNiro or Tom Hanks or the rest of those folks who have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN COMMON with us but proceed to militate against THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE because they think their lofty, anointed positions gives them license to direct our lives.

Here are Mr Voight's video and letter:

My dear fellow Americans.

We are all feeling tremendous anxiety with only a few weeks left to the election. This will be the most important election in American history.

We were once a country of freedom, and now we’re becoming a country of tyranny.

We are witness to our own people burning down and looting our cities. Ferguson, Missouri, Milwaukee, Orlando, Florida, Baltimore. We are all witness to our own people killing our policemen. Islamic terrorists have killed thousands of people all over our country, and Hillary and Obama want to be politically correct and pretend all the killings are not happening.

How many Americans are aware of George Soros? An evil man, who turned hundreds of Jewish people over the Nazis to be exterminated during World War II. He was interviewed on 60 Minutes, and was asked does he feel guilty for what he has done. And arrogantly, he said ‘Absolutely not. If I didn’t do it, someone else would have.’

Soros is a billionaire, who made most of his money manipulating currencies and almost bankrupting many countries. He supports hate groups, who are responsible for taking down our cities. And he is a close friend of Hillary Clinton, and a major supporter of her campaign.

Robert De Niro is a millionaire, as are so many of our Hollywood stars who are voting for Hillary, and who have absolutely no tolerance for anyone with a different opinion, forgetting that that is what our country is founded on: freedom of choice. But they will not be affected by Hillary’s open borders. Only our poor and middle class will suffer.

Thousands of refugees will flood our nation, and no one will know the good guys from the bad guys. It will kill our economy, which is at an all-time low now under the years of Obama’s presidency. And Hillary boasts of how proud she will be to continue Obama’s legacy.

No one can afford health insurance now. Prices for healthcare have gone through the roof thanks to Obamacare. Our once reasonable healthcare is gone.

With Hillary as President, we will lose our Second Amendment right to bear arms. Freedom of religion will be attacked, and Hillary will try to stop all conservative voices on TV and radio. Our highest court will become Socialist, and she will restrict what America was founded on, our freedom to become a small business owner and pursue our own personal dreams.

She has blood on her hands from the Benghazi terrorist raid. Four of our American patriots died, and when the parents stood over their loved ones’ coffins, she lied to them about the cause of their sons’ deaths.

The pendulum of freedom is not balanced. Hillary and her followers are on a crude campaign to stop and degrade all of Trump’s followers. Her words were echoed loud and clear for all Americans to hear. Hillary said Trump’s followers are a basket of deplorables. They are un-redeemable.

May God protect the real truth, and may Donald Trump win this presidency. He will save our America, and he will certainly make it great again.

October 12, 2016

Here's the FULL show; it contains some additional dirt. The big takeaway is the question: if Hillary's up by eleven points (yeah, right!) then WHY IS SHE AND HER CAMPAIGN BUSTING THEIR ASS TO STRETCH THIS PAPER THIN PUSSY VIDEO GO FOR A WEEK OR TO?

Also, here's a tip: check out this Project Veritas Video about ass grabbing and voter fraud:

Benedict Arnold is the one on the left; the one on the right is the sniveling modern-day wannabe.

THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE IN 2017 AND BEYOND (continued)
Previously, I wrote that the defeat of Donald Trump could be blamed on the Dem party, the mainstream media, the Clinton campaign, and the turncoat GOPe. Of these four, two are arguably vile and sinister: the MSM and the GOPe.

As for that squishy sack of woe from the first congressional district of Cheeseland, he can rot in the nether regions for all I care. As stated in a previous post, if he engineered this rebellion and did so to get Trump out of the way and set himself up as the White Knight that will save the GOP, then one cannot imagine any flight of fancy so ill-conceived or pathetically implemented. By doing this, he has earned the unrelenting enmity of all ordinary, hard-working citizens who looked to Trump as their only salvation against the culture of corruption and cronyism that Ryan revels in.

Clueless, out of touch, and almost universally hated, I see him falling from grace, falling from office, working as a sleazy K Street lobbyist and then heading back to Cheeseland to live out his life in ignominy behind the walls he had erected at taxpayer expense.

As I said, would not a terminal case of the clap be too much to ask, oh Lord?

INTERNECINE BATTLE BETWEEN CLINTON AND OLD MEDIA AND THE RISE OF NEW MEDIA
Happily, as a result of a Trump defeat, while Ryan is gumming his Gruyère, the MSM will be moribund or so close to DOA by the time 2020 rolls around that they will be in the ER about 30 seconds when the docs "call it". Here's Styx weighing in on the anticipated demise of the MSM:

I completely agree that the current day MSM is loaded down with overhead and burdened with ponderous logistics. Styx -- and those of his ilk -- will be far more agile, mobile, and hostile that, say, the reporters in the field or on camera requiring an infrastructure to spew their banalities into the ether or along some stretch of buried coaxial cable. By contrast, EVERYONE has or will have a computer, smart phone, tablet or some other similar receptor and can use the interwebs to receive these "pirate underground broadcasts"

And who knows what the technology will be like in two-three years?

Before the death rattle commences, however, perhaps it is not too far amiss to speculate that the tapes they found on Trump was the only things they could dig up. Perhaps they realized that they were staring down a presidency Reaganesque proportions wherein power is derived from the people as opposed to a handful of sclerotic geriatrics with on hand on their own privates and the other hand on the public till. This would offer the media no foothold, no purchase on their hit pieces. Like the Gipper, any critical article of Trump would be seen by the public as left-wing hatred and jealousy. So, perhaps this backing of Clinton is also an effort to guarantee themselves a rich harvest of stories involving scandal, corruption, and political intrigue.

Anyway who knows and who cares what goes on in their puerile, fetid little minds. I am sure that it will become a feeding frenzy of the MSM and Hillary as they both wade through the river of sewage that is federal government politics and I am laying in pallets of Orville Reddenbachers and Tecate in anticipation of them ripping each others' innards out and their blood spilling on the Coliseum sand.

There already are these folks that Styx talks about who are the new pundits. The guerrilla army of warriers who travel fast and light, hit quick, and disappear into the ether. We old folk with our big screen TVs and cable boxes are a dying breed and turning the 60-incher into a big computer display screen means we are only a step away from selecting what we wish to hear and see as opposed to what dinosaur cable channels feed us. Expect FNS to continue their leftward drift as the two sons of Murdoch endlessly masturbate over pictures of Megyn Kelly in those garish, frightful bra-and-garter-belt outfits, hoping against hope that that dyke in six-inch platform heels will flash enough beaver to be the salvation of their foundering network.

Cue Sharon Stone.

The alphabets, FNS, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC etc. will be abandoned in droves I believe as, ironically, Trump spots the huge yawning vacuum of conservative/common citizen and starts TNN -- Trump News Network -- sprinkling it with such pickoffs as Hannity, Lou Dobbs, maybe the terminally self-referential Bill O'Reilly and others who generally have things interesting to say TO THE COMMON MAN without insulting intelligence, principles, and beliefs. If Trump is smart, maybe Alex Jones, and his Info Wars efforts, Paul Joseph Watson, Steve Molyneux, Mark Dice, Cernovich and even such off-the-wall counterculture rebels like Styxenhammer666 will be given a shot at the Klieg lights. In fact, we're probably looking at a phenomenon similar to Drudge's model: video blogging and commentary aggregaters.

Now, I'd buy that for a buck. Sure beats the skippy out of watching the interminable laxative, denture, and Depends ads on Fox.

Well, I am just about played out on this subject for the moment. We will see more this time next year. So, as Styx is wont say:

October 11, 2016

I was pondering the prospect of a Clinton presidency and, while that may be a gloomy subject, in the event there's a tremor on the force and Clinton wins, all is not lost and the world will not come to an end. A nuclear conflagration or Armageddon of Christianity versus Muslim ruled out, there will be a reality that we will have to live in and survive.

But, to be sure, there will be a role and order of battle for all of us if we wish to carry on the fight -- now against BOTH Clinton AND the GOPe. So, as I was mulling over what a Post-Trumpian America would be like with Clinton at the helm I pieced together the following which is how I feel things will play out. And, as I said, it will not be as gloomy as one could imagine.

(Note that this is NOT bed wetting. I believe Trump may very well win but a good army has commanders who anticipate and prepare for all contingencies. This is such planning and speculation.)

To be sure, we will live in grave peril of losing our Supreme Court and having the Constitution radically changed. There will be other draconian manifestation of a Clinton regime in power and, doubtless, it will be a bleaker time. But there will be a few ironies that may conspire to thwart her reign. Several thoughts:

GOOD WILL
Remember, Obama was ushered in on a wave of optimism and started with an approval rating in the near-seventies. And, while it rapidly plummeted as we found out how truly incompetent and scheming he was, he nonetheless maintained some semblance of good will among his support and rarely dipped into the thirties.

Hillary enjoys no such popularity nor good will. She could enter office with about 45% approval and most probably be closer to 40% or lower. Remember, Assange, et al, will still be leaking emails about her crookedness and that will do little to endear her to the electorate. By January 20th of next year, she may actually be in the thirties,

The old joke about Obama signs popping up all over saying "Miss Me Yet?" with his grinning gesicht may not be a far-fetched joke.

I personally would not be surprised to see her daily ratings in the mid-to-low thirties for many reasons.

COMPENTENCE
Clinton has a proven track record of..sheer incompetence. It has been pointed out and repeatedly demonstrated by her own performance that she absolutely, positively cannot do ANY job she sets out to do unless that job involves personal enrichment and self aggrandizement. She will be facing severe and stern tests both domestically with an ailing economy and a world political situation (of her own making) that teeters on the brink of conflict.

Further, she will have to live (as will we) with the consequences of her allowing the 550% increase of Muslim refugee and other immigration. ANY terrorist activity on American soil or towards American citizens or interests abroad will be laid at her feet. The bitter memories of Benghazi or Orlando or Nice or the first numerous red lines that she and Obama drew in the sand will be fresh in our minds and, as POTUS, she will have NO ONE ELSE to blame because, as Truman said, "the buck stops here".

..although she will try.

DEMEANOR AND LEADERSHIP
The stark contrast between Clinton and Trump is never more evident than in the area of leadership. For his time building his empire, Donald trump has dealt with many in the business world -- some have become friends and faithful employees or associates and, to be sure, he has made some enemies. But, by and large, what you see on the campaign trail seems to be a microcosm of his business dealings. He genuinely likes people and engenders the same affection for him from those he deals with. This is the hallmark of a good leader. Early on in the primaries, he waded into a rancorous morass of hatred, distrust, and suspicion and instantly gathered a loyal following that has now blossomed into a movement. He has done so by dint of his kindness, selflessness, good cheer and genuine concern for others.

Clinton, on the other hand, cares only for herself ("I'm with Her" versus "He's with Us!") and makes no bones about how this is her turn and she will not be denied the presidency because SHE deserves it. She is cold, calculating, vicious, mean, and just plain evil and this feeling is transmitted to those around her. She leads by fear, intimidation, and -- most probably -- by blackmail.

Outwardly, she is shrill, domineering, and hectoring. She was and most appropriately referred or by a fellow blogger as "America's Ex-Wife", its shrewish implications describing her to a tee.

I do not see her gaining any good will by virtue of her personality and she may actually end up being "Stalin in a pantsuit", feared when present. Reviled and ridiculed when absent. And this, of course, will compound the downward slide of her popularity ratings.

There will be no love lost on her.

THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE IN 2017 AND BEYOND
If Trump loses, it will justifiably be laid at the feet of four entities all working in concert.

(1) The unscrupulous Democratic party
(2) The main stream media
(3) The vile and unlawful Clinton campaign
(4) The turncoat GOPe establishment led by Paul Ryan

Taken all together the four entities above contrive to make a wicked stew of deceit, disloyalty, and evil treachery. In observing how they all conspired, I despise each greatly. But, perhaps I despise the disloyal GOPe and Paul Ryan the most. However, I will save my invective for the GOPe and Ryan for future posts - and they will not be pretty.

In any even, the events of the last week have led me to believe that this release of the video was the work of all four in ACTIVE concert together. The events happened to quickly and in to coordinated a manner to be anything BUY well rehearsed. The rapidity with which Ryan and the 40 pulled their support from Trump was alarming and, when Donald kicked ass in the debate, Ryan wandered in with his dagger drawn for another stab at Caesar's body on Monday and Tuesday.

"This was the most unkindest cut of all."

And with the rumors circulating about the tape being released to the WaPo by a Ryan flunky, it is plain to see that there is a concert going on here. My suspicion is that they all have eyes on the prize after the new year..

Stumbled across these rants about a week ago and believe this guy has it nailed. So much so, I think I am turning into the character, Lazlo, played by Peter Boyle in the 1980 move Where the Buffalo Roam.

October 10, 2016

Some have asked what I've been doing in retirement. Well, I applied for a building permit for a new house. It was going to be 100 ft tall and 400 ft wide, with 12 gun turrets at various heights, and windows all over the place and a loud outside entertainment sound system. It would have parking for 200 cars, and I was going to paint it snot green with pink trim. The City Council told me; "Forget it...AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!"

So, I sent in the application again, but this time I called it a "Mosque." Work starts on Monday. And here is the best part, it's going to be tax exempt!

CNN caught absolutely shamelessly coaching members of their so-called focus groups on the answers.

Oh no, we're not impartial.

And then there's this jewel of selective outrage from that sclerotic old Zwieback gummer, Bob Schieffer, who ought to be wandering around a rest home somewhere in bedroom slippers and half-open bathrobe with his winkie hanging out.

But the commenters -- even over at the CBS website -- weren't having any of this old man's rant. Some comments:

Bill said that he had "hundreds of affairs" before "turning forty" but then he began a "concerted effort to be faithful," according to a conversation with Monica reported to the Starr grand jury. This suggests that he began to have a sexual potency problem at forty in 1986. A man who is periodically impotent and so fears erectile dysfunction when he attempts sexual intercourse has a reason to avoid it and to substitute masturbation and oral sex. The reason is fear of failure. The Starr Referral says, "...the President inserted a cigar into (Monica's) vagina and then put the cigar in his mouth and said, 'It tastes good.' " This is a statement about Bill's felt need for a better penis, more dependable, harder and maybe larger. Sometimes a cigar is more then just a cigar.

Monica tells us via the Starr report, "...that her physical relationship with the President included oral sex but not sexual intercourse...he touched her genitals...bringing her to orgasm on two occasions...initially the President would not let her perform oral sex to completion...(but) during their last two...encounters, both in 1997, he did ejaculate." The report said that on March 31, 1996 the President " '...focused on me pretty exclusively...' kissing her bare breasts and fondling her genitals...

Bill's preference for foreplay rather then sexual intercourse with Monica is the routine as he, "...'unzipped his pants and sort of exposed himself,' " when they meet in the Oval office. They had oral sex nine times and phone sex fifteen times according to the Starr report. Monica wanted sexual intercourse with Bill but it never happened although once there was "...brief genital to genital contact."

You want locker room banter, Clinton, you GOT locker room banter. I hope your dick rots and falls off and you die a horrible death from STDs like syphilis, you pig.

October 8, 2016

The NRSC have the stones to send me this in today's email -- after the several of their nutless wonders de-endorsed Donald Trump over his locker-room banter tapes released before the weekend. They ACTUALLY expect me to provide my cash to these butt plugs who have done everything in their power to sell the good and decent common citizens of this country down the river by cozying up to The Lawn Jockey POTUS and now attempting to ensure that a criminal and wife of a rapist be given a glass-smooth path to the most powerful office in the world.

From the Mercers -- one of the most eloquent statement of loyalty and support AND A SOLID APPRAISAL OF THE FACTD AS THEY RELATE TO HILLARY CLINTON:

If Mr. Trump had told Billy Bush, whoever that is, earlier this year that he was for open borders, open trade, and executive actions in pursuit of gun control, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. If he had admitted to Mr. Bush that he had profited privately by allowing the sale to Russia of 20% of US uranium deposits or that he had amassed his personal fortune not by hard work in the private sector but by selling favors to foreigners on the American taxpayers’ dime, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. If he had argued that he needed both a public and a private position on issues facing the American public, we would certainly be rethinking our support for him. And finally if Trump had serially terrorized and silenced the victims of violent sexual assault whom he feared could damage his political career, we would most definitely be rethinking our support for him.

Donald Trump’s uncensored comments, both old and new, have been echoed and dissected in the media repeatedly in an effort to kindle among his supporters a conflagration of outrage commensurate with the media’s own faux outrage. Can anyone really be surprised that Mr. Trump could have said to Mr. Bush such things as he has already admitted saying? No. We are completely indifferent to Mr. Trump’s locker room braggadocio.

The same media that resolutely looked away when the most powerful man in the world, a sitting U.S. president with multiple violent sexual assaults to his credit, snared an impressionable young intern in his web and ruined her life, now expects us to gasp with revulsion at Mr. Trump’s irreverent comments. America is finally fed up and disgusted with its political elite. Trump is channeling this disgust and those among the political elite who quake before the boombox of media blather do not appreciate the apocalyptic choice that America faces on November 8th. We have a country to save and there is only one person who can save it. We, and Americans across the country and around the world, stand steadfastly behind Donald J. Trump.

and this from Scott Adams, the author of Dilbert (emphasis added):

Challenge accepted!

I’ll give you my thoughts, in no particular order.

1. If this were anyone else, the election would be over. But keep in mind that Trump doesn’t need to outrun the bear. He only needs to outrun his camping buddy. There is still plenty of time for him to dismantle Clinton. If you think things are interesting now, just wait. There is lots more entertainment coming.

2. This was not a Trump leak. No one would invite this sort of problem into a marriage.

3. I assume that publication of this recording was okayed by the Clinton campaign. And if not, the public will assume so anyway. That opens the door for Trump to attack in a proportionate way. No more mister-nice-guy. Gloves are off. Nothing is out of bounds. It is fair to assume that Bill and Hillary are about to experience the worst weeks of their lives.

4. If nothing new happens between now and election day, Clinton wins. The odds of nothing new happening in that timeframe is exactly zero.

5. I assume that 75% of male heads of state, including our own past presidents, are total dogs in their private lives. Like it or not, Trump is normal in that world.

6. As fictional mob boss Tony Soprano once said in an argument with his wife, “You knew what you were getting when you married me!” Likewise, Trump’s third wife, Melania, knew what she was getting. It would be naive to assume Trump violated their understanding.

7. Another rich, famous, tall, handsome married guy once told me that he can literally make-out and get handsy with any woman he wants, whether she is married or not, and she will be happy about it. I doubted his ridiculous claims until I witnessed it three separate times. So don’t assume the women were unwilling. (Has anyone come forward to complain about Trump?)

8. If the LGBTQ community wants to be a bit more inclusive, I don’t see why “polyamorous alpha male serial kisser” can’t be on the list. If you want to label Trump’s sexual behavior “abnormal” you’re on shaky ground.

9. Most men don’t talk like Trump. Most women don’t either. But based on my experience, I’m guessing a solid 20% of both genders say and do shockingly offensive things in private. Keep in mind that Billy Bush wasn’t shocked by it.

10. Most male Hollywood actors support Clinton. Those acting skills will come in handy because starting today they have to play the roles of people who do not talk and act exactly like Trump in private.

11. I’m adding context to the discussion, not condoning it. Trump is on his own to explain his behavior.

12. Clinton supporters hated Trump before this latest outrage. Trump supporters already assumed he was like this. Independents probably assumed it too. Before you make assumptions about how this changes the election, see if anyone you know changes their vote because of it. All I have seen so far is people laughing about it.

12. I hereby change my endorsement from Trump to Gary Johnson, just to get out of the blast zone. Others will be “parking” their vote with Johnson the same way. The “shy Trump supporter” demographic just tripled.

13. My prediction of a 98% chance of Trump winning stays the same. Clinton just took the fight to Trump’s home field. None of this was a case of clever strategy or persuasion on Trump’s part. But if the new battleground is spousal fidelity, you have to like Trump’s chances.

14. Trump wasn’t running for Pope. He never claimed moral authority. His proposition has been that he’s an asshole (essentially), but we need an asshole to fight ISIS, ignore lobbyists, and beat up Congress. Does it change anything to have confirmation that he is exactly what you thought he was?

My thoughts above have more to do with reason than persuasion. And that means you can ignore all of it because reason is not part of decision-making when it comes to politics. On the persuasion level, all that matters is whether this new development changes what you already assumed about Trump.

Personally, it didn’t change what I assumed about Trump’s personal life. Your mileage may vary.

The fish rots from the head down, as the saying goes. A recent article by Paul Sperry of the New York Post rips the scam off the festering wound that is the Clintoon email scandal. What is underneath ain't pretty. (Entire article here.)
